Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking on the beach by the coast of Vacsay Island on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Outer Hebrides, Britain, United Kingdom. Vacsay, Scottish Gaelic: Bhacsaigh from Old Norse " bakkiey " meaning " peat bank island " is off the west coast of Lewis. Like many of the surrounding islands, Vacsay is uninhabited due to the Highland Clearances, which occurred here in 1827. This forced displacement of people from the Highlands and islands of Scotland in the 18th and 19th centuries had a significant impact on the region. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day
